Friends of the Rosary,Today, Friday of the Passion of the Lord, Holy Friday, or Good Friday (a deviation of the term “God's Friday), the Church observes the earthly death of our Savior. It's a solemn day of mourning, prayer, fasting, and a sense of sadness as we acknowledge our failure to serve our Lord.We slow down, restrict ourselves from entertainment, participate in processions and devotions (such as the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, and the Divine Mercy), and meditate on readings and prayers related to the passion of Christ.At three o'clock, the faithful attend the “Celebration of the Lord's Passion.” It's not a Mass but a service with three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion.At the beginning, the priests and deacons prostrate themselves in silent prayer. The General Intentions cover ten areas:For the ChurchFor the PopeFor the clergy and laity of the ChurchFor those preparing for baptismFor the unity of ChristiansFor the Jewish peopleFor those who do not believe in ChristFor those who do not believe in GodFor all in public officeFor those in special needIn part two, we venerate and kiss the wooden cross “on which hung the Savior of the world.” In part three, the congregation receives Holy Communion, and everyone departs in silence.The liturgies of the Paschal Triduum are one continuous act of worship. Yesterday, we saw Christ Jesus at the Last Supper completing the washing of the feet in all humility and instituting the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Orders. Today, at the midpoint of the Triduum of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord, our pilgrimage comes to Calvary. Tomorrow, the Easter Vigil of Easter will begin with the Service of Light.The first reading at today's commemoration of the Passion is the fourth of Isaiah's songs of the Suffering Servant.Then we hear St. John's narrative of Christ's Passion. To protect and heal us from darkness, Christ Jesus allowed the fury of sin to destroy Him. He endured the pain of the cross bearing our sins.The Suffering Servant pleased the Father not by his agony but by being obedient to the point of death on the cross, offering his body in sacrifice to take away the sin of the world.St. Anselm said that the death of the Son reestablished the right relationship between divinity and humanity.In Jesus, with his arms outstretched on the cross, we find the redemption of our suffering. He is the source of our eternal salvation.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Holy Thursday, the first day of the Paschal Triduum of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord, we listen to the words spoken by Christ Jesus to His apostles at the Last Supper, after He had completed the washing of the feet in all humility.As reflected in the Gospel, we meditate on Christ's actions that day. They included:1 - The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal;2 - The washing of the disciples' feet;3 - The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist and the Holy Orders. It was the first Mass at which Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest, was the celebrant, with the first Communion of the apostles.4 - The foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials;5 - The farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus;6 - The agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.On Holy Thursday, there are two Masses:1 — The Chrism Mass or Mass of the Holy Oils is usually said in the morning at the diocese's cathedral. The local Bishop consecrates the holy oils to be used during the next year and celebrates the institution of the priesthood. Catholics experience the communion of priests with their bishop in this Mass and give thanks for the Church's priests and for Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest who "became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him" [Hebrews 5.9]2 — The evening Mass of the Lord's Supper. The whole community and the priests of the parish participate. We recall the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood and celebrate the Washing of the Feet.In the readings, we recall the Agony in the Garden, and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus.After the Communion Prayer, the Holy Eucharist is carried through the Church and placed into the tabernacle at the Altar of Repose.We remain in quiet prayer and adoration, keeping Christ company. The Blessed Sacrament is conserved in a closed tabernacle.There is a tradition to try and visit seven churches for silent adoration, to answer Christ's invitation "Could you not, then, watch one hour with me?" (Matt 26:40)Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

The Table of Duties is the third section of the Small Catechism that helps us to know our place in life as Christians. Pastors are to live their lives so that they do not become a scandal to the Word of God that they are given to teach to their hearers, and hearers are given to support their pastors financially and gladly hear the Word that their pastor preaches. The civil government must recognize that all authority comes from God and use it to promote what is good and punish what is evil, while citizens should respect and submit to the authority God has vested in civil government, praying for their leaders. Employers and employees are to live and work in relationship toward each other recognizing that God is their ultimate Lord.  Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study the Table of Duties from the Small Catechism.  Learn more about Sharathon 2025 and give now at kfuo.org/sharathon. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Fr. John Utecht was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis two years ago. Shortly before that, his father, Joseph Utecht, became a permanent deacon. The two sit down to share what they've learned so far in ministry, and how their home became the seedbed for multiple vocations to Holy Orders.

Patrick discusses the following topics during hour 3: Sandra – Should I rethink my shopping preferences because of an ad for Ramadan posted in a store? Amy - I have been in the greenhouse business for 45 years. I have seen things over that time, and I don't think it is as bad as that caller was making it. Eduardo - My friend says he will not baptize the baby until he can make the decision for himself- what do you think? "Infant Baptism In The First Four Centuries" By Joachim Jeremias Greg - My brother is getting married in the Lutheran Church. He wants me to be a part of their communion service. What do I tell him? News - 4 U.S. Soldiers found dead in Lithuania Pamela - I thought the Catholic Church recognizes the Lutheran communion because their Holy Orders could be valid? Brian - My mother is very prayerful but had an apparition of family members who passed. What should we do? pray for them talk to them?

Bishop Andrew Cozzens of the Diocese of Crookston -- and leader of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' National Eucharistic Revival -- met with the seminarians at The Saint Paul Seminary to start the 2023-24 academic year. He shared with them the importance of priestly fraternity. Every Catholic needs community, and it's especially important for priests; in fact, Cozzens points out, it's an essential part of the sacrament of Holy Orders.

A caller named Mike from Jacksonville asks the big question: Should Catholics receive Communion on the hand or on the tongue? Here's Patrick's response... What the Church Says: -Traditionally, Communion has always been received on the tongue in the Western Church. -After Vatican II, some people started receiving on the hand as a kind of liturgical trend. At first, the Church said, “No, you shouldn’t do that.” Yet people just kept doing it, and it became so widespread that eventually, St. Pope John Paul II permitted it to avoid constant conflict. -In the Eastern Churches (e.g., Byzantine Rite, Eastern Orthodox), receiving in the hand is unthinkable. Communion is always spooned directly into the mouth, and the idea of touching the Eucharist with your hands is considered outrageous. What’s Allowed Now: -The Church officially permits receiving Communion on the hand, but the preferred method is still on the tongue. -If you choose to receive in the hand, it’s recommended to make an extra sign of reverence, like a bow or making the Sign of the Cross. -Standing is the norm in the U.S., but kneeling is also allowed if you prefer it. Why Patrick Thinks Communion on the Tongue is Better: -Hands Matter: Priests’ hands are consecrated as part of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. The rest of us? Not so much. So, there’s a reverence factor there. -Tradition Matters: For about 1,500 years, the standard practice was to receive on the tongue, kneeling if possible. Sure, there were some places in the early Church where Communion in the hand happened, but that was far from the norm. -Personal Conviction: Patrick admits he’s in the minority here, but he thinks the traditional way is better because it emphasizes reverence and respect for the Eucharist. The Bottom Line: Yes, you can receive Communion in the hand, but if you ask Patrick: on the tongue is better. He thinks most people just automatically receive on their hands because that's how they were raised.

Diane M. Hinds|Author|Trinidad's Untold Past| Colonialism|Conflict|ChangeDiane M. Hinds is an author and distinguished entertainment publicist with a profound connection to Trinidad, stemming from her formative years on the island between 1975 and 1979. During this period, her father, Rev. Kenneth Hinds, served as a Clerk in Holy Orders after being ordained at St Albans Abbey by Archbishop Bob Runcie. These experiences deeply influenced Diane, fueling her passion for sharing pivotal yet often overlooked chapters of Caribbean history. Her debut novel, Conquerabia: The Struggle for Identity, offers a masterfully fictionalised account of Trinidad's history. The narrative spans from Christopher Columbus's discovery of the island in 1498 to its cession from Spain to Britain's Sir Ralph Abercromby. The novel delves into significant events, including the tenure of the island's first governor, Thomas Picton, and examines the profound impact of the abolition of slavery on Trinidad's social and cultural landscape. Through this work, Diane captures the resilience and indomitable spirit of Trinidad's people, paying tribute to the rich heritage that has shaped the vibrant island known today. Beyond her literary endeavours, Diane is recognised for her career as an entertainment publicist and her role as a dynamic speaker. Her personal journey, including managing Sickle Cell Disease, brings added depth to her insights on Trinidad's past and her creative process. Diane's unique perspective makes her an engaging addition to literary podcasts focusing on postcolonial narratives, Caribbean heritage, and the fusion of fiction with historical fact.Link:https://dianehindswrites.com/fSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprPEG uses StreamYard.com for our live podcastshttps://streamyard.com/pal/c/6290085463457792Get $10.00 Credit for using StreamYard.com when you sign up with our linkRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rss

Archbishop Vigneron joins host Mike Chamberland to discuss the Sacrament of Marriage, one of the Sacraments at the Service of Communion. Their conversation takes us through the sacrament itself, covers how marriage is reflected in Scripture, and touches on the differences between the secular and Catholic understanding of marriage.(0:21) Host Mike Chamberland, flying solo without cohost Mary Wilkerson this month, welcomes Archbishop Vigneron to another episode of Eyes on Jesus. The Archbishop shares some highlights of the last month, including the solemn opening of the Jubilee Year of Hope, meeting with Knights of Columbus leadership, and the Christmas holiday. (4:09) Mike introduces today's topic: the Sacrament of Matrimony. Archbishop Vigneron begins by talking about the difference between the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist), Sacraments at the Service of Communion (Matrimony, Holy Orders), and Sacraments of Healing (Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick). Mike then asks Archbishop Vigneron to provide an overview of what happens during the Sacrament of Matrimony. (10:07) Archbishop Vigneron suggests there are “two archetypes” of marriage through salvation history: First, the marriage of God in the world, which is inscribed in the nature of the human person, and then the marriage of Christ with humanity in the Church. He clarifies that while the Sacrament of Matrimony can take place outside the celebration of the Eucharist, it is most appropriately celebrated within the context of the Mass. He and Mike then discuss who actually “confers” the Sacrament of Matrimony: the husband and wife.(14:47) Archbishop Vigneron shares how the Sacrament of Matrimony is reflected in Scripture, beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. Mike asks about the purpose of marriage, which Archbishop Vigneron summarizes as a way for God's sons and daughters to fulfill their own purpose and participate in the mystery of communion. Archbishop Vigneron then explains what we mean when we say marriage is “unitive and procreative.”(26:53) Mike asks the Archbishop to explain why the Catholic Church rejects divorce. Archbishop Vigneron points to Scripture, where Jesus Christ teaches that divorce had previously been permitted due to a human hardness of heart. But now, “we have hearts of flesh, not stone, by the power and grace of Christ.” Archbishop Vigneron then explains how the secular concept of divorce differs from a declaration of nullity from the Church. (35:04) Archbishop Vigneron shares about the annual Together in Holiness Conference, an opportunity for spouses to grow together in holiness and, for those who are parents, to learn how to form their children in the Catholic faith. He also looks back on a marriage ceremony he celebrated early in his priestly ministry and shares what he most enjoys about celebrating this sacrament. Then, he talks about the witness of his parents living out their vocation as a married couple. (42:15) Mike shares his own experience of being married for 21 years, learning from the witness of his own parents and other couples in his life. He and the Archbishop then discuss the Feast of St. Valentine, or St. Valentine's Day. Archbishop Vigneron suggests that while the secular celebration is often focused on romance itself, the Christian focus for relationships should be on love, which remains even in times when romance fades. He and Mike then offer their advice to couples preparing for marriage and those struggling in their marriages. (48:20) Archbishop Vigneron answers listener questions about his favorite memory as a bishop, how to address others' doubts of God, and the one thing he'd ask God for if given the chance. He then closes the episode with a prayer and blessing.

In this week's episode, Father Luke Wilgenbusch and I are diving into the importance of the priesthood and why priests are such a vital gift to our Catholic faith. As midlife Catholic women, we often juggle family, work, and community, and it can be easy to overlook the powerful role of the priesthood in our spiritual lives. Yet, without the priesthood, we wouldn't have the Eucharist—the greatest gift God has given us! Father Wilgenbusch shares his perspective on the sacredness and responsibility of being a priest, acknowledging the tension between the human flaws of each priest and the sacramental grace that flows through them. It's a beautiful reminder that priests are human like us, but they also carry out an extraordinary mission to bring Christ to us in the sacraments. We also discuss how we can support the priesthood, especially in the midst of all the negativity and criticism priests sometimes face. Prayer, encouragement, and loving constructive feedback are just some of the ways we can help lift up our priests, who carry a heavy spiritual burden for us all. As Catholic moms, we are uniquely positioned to strengthen the priesthood by recognizing the importance of these men who serve in our parishes. Father also offers a thoughtful response to the question of why the priesthood is reserved for men, sharing the deeper theological and spiritual reasons behind the Church's teaching. Tune in for this heartwarming and insightful conversation, and learn how you can be a greater support to the priesthood in your own life. Let's pray, uplift, and appreciate our priests for the incredible role they play in bringing us closer to Christ. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. After 26 years of working in Catholic education, Jennie felt God calling her "to step out of the boat" to serve in a new way. In her new ministry, she equips and encourages middle-life women to encounter the love of the Father and to be transformed and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit so they can MAGNIFY Christ in their corner of the world.

We continue our look at the sacraments via The Penny Catechism.

Questions Covered:  05:49 – I've heard there's 7 Sacraments. Two are mutually exclusive (Matrimony & Holy Orders). If a Catholic Man is unmarried/not ordained religious and receives the other 5 Sacraments, is he missing something/less than others who are married/ordained?  15:21 – When talking to Tom earlier, you left on a cliffhanger. Where in the Bible does it say you should be Catholic?  37:41 – As a non-Catholic, can I go to Confession?  44:02 – Is there a connection between Classical Liberalism / democracy (differing ideas in society) and Protestantism (having differences in faith in the “Church”)?  50:37 – Could you give me a Biblical/Traditional defense on Marian Doctrine in general?  …

A listener named Beth asks Father Dave how she can best support her son who is discerning his vocation. “At the age of 12, my son told me that he thinks he wants to be a priest when he grows up. That thought hasn't changed in the past year,” she says. “Just looking for some extra input, because I'm worried about being a bad mom. Don't get me wrong, both my husband and I would be thrilled if he becomes a priest, but we don't want to make any accidental missteps. If Father Dave could [offer] some reassurance, I would greatly appreciate it.”

Introducing 'Catholic Kernel of Truth' from TruthPop! Dive into short, digestible, and catechetical knowledge that will help you learn and grow in your Catholic faith. Learn about the 'Holy Orders' in this CKoT.Did you know that by your baptism you have been made a priest, prophet and king and that you are able to make offerings to God? However, Jesus also established a ministerial priesthood by the sacrifice that He made once and for all.The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that in the Old Testament God's chosen people were a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, but He also established a priesthood from one of the twelve tribes of Levi that was set apart for liturgical practices. The Church sees this as a prefiguring of the ordained ministry of the New Testament. Jesus came to redefine what priesthood and sacrifice is and accomplish what the old priesthood could not do. (CCC 1539-1541)“Everything that the priesthood of the Old Covenant prefigured finds its fulfillment in Christ Jesus, the one mediator between God and men.”(CCC 1544). Christ is the only true priest but by virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, the ministerial priest acts in persona Christi and is truly made like to the high priest and possess authority to act in the power and place of the person of Christ himself. (CCC 1548)Christ's presence in the minister is not to be understood if he were preserved from all human weakness, error, and sin. (CCC 1550). Priests are not perfect but they have a vitally important role in Christ's Church. In the sacrifice of the Mass the ministerial priest make present Christ offering of himself once and for all as a spotless victim to the Father. (CCC 1566) Christ established the priesthood of the New Covenant by ordaining his twelve apostles, and thus ordained ministry is exercised in 3 degrees, bishops, presbyters, and deacons. (CCC 1593)As successors of the apostles, the bishop receives the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders and makes him the visible head of the particular church entrusted to him. Bishops share in the responsibility and mission of the Church under the authority of the Pope, the successor of St. Peter (CCC 1594)Ministerial priests are united with the bishops as they depend on them to exercise their pastoral functions and are called bishop's coworkers and form the presbyterium under their bishop and receive the charge of a parish community (CCC 1595). Deacons are ministers ordained for tasks of service of the church and do not receive ministerial priesthood. They assist in important functions in the ministry of the word, divine worship, pastoral governance, and service of charity. (CCC 1596)Ordination of the sacrament of Holy Orders is granted by the laying on of hands followed by a prayer of consecration asking for the graces of the Holy Spirit required for the ministry. This imprints an indelible sacramental character, meaning this can never be taken away. (CCC 1597)Only baptized men can validly receive this sacrament. The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles and they likewise did the same as they choose their successors. The Church is therefore bound by the choice made by the Lord Himself. (CCC 1577)One can only be called by God to receive the sacrament of Holy Orders as an unmerited gift. The Church has the responsibility and right to discern with the candidate and decide if he is called by God to this vocation. (CCC 1578) All ordained ministers of the Roman Catholic Church with the exception of permanent deacons are chosen from among men who live a celibate life and intend to remain celibate. They are called to consecrate themselves with an undivided heart to the Lord and give themselves entirely to God and His Church. (CCC 1579). Priests make it possible for you to receive and adore Jesus in the Eucharist. The devil hates Catholic priests because they bring Jesus into the world in a unique way that only they are able to do. Priests are not preserved from weakness and sin. They are imperfect just like us so we must pray and encourage our priests. Throughout the day you can make sacrifices for your priest and consider inviting him to lunch or dinner after Sunday Mass. Your support and prayers are needed for them to carry out this vital mission.

Introducing 'Catholic Kernel of Truth' from TruthPop! Dive into short, digestible, and catechetical knowledge that will help you learn and grow in your Catholic faith. Learn about the 'Confession' in this CKoT.Jesus Christ is the divine physician of our bodies as well as our souls. In addition to the Anointing of the Sick, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the other sacrament under the category of healing. James 5:16 states: “Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.”The CCC states that although Christians were washed, sanctified, and justified through Baptism, humans have an inclination to sin tradition calls concupiscence and therefore we are in need of continuing conversion and purification. Jesus instituted the sacrament when he showed himself to his apostles on Easter when  He breathed on them and said “receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any they are retained. Since Christ entrusted his apostles the ministry of reconciliation, bishops who are their successors, and priests, bishops' collaborators, continue to exercise this ministry. By virtue of the sacrament of Holy Orders, priests and bishops have the power to forgive all sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. CCC 1461Prior to receiving this sacrament, the penitent must make examination of conscience in the light of the word of God. The passages best suited to this can be found in the Ten Commandments, moral catechesis of the Gospels, and apostolic Letters such as the Sermon on the Mount. CCC 1454The structure of the Sacrament of Reconciliation are first a greeting and blessing from the priest, the confession of sins to the priest, the acceptance of a penance, the absolution given by the priest, and a prayer of thanksgiving and dismissal. CCC 1480All mortal sins of which the penitent is conscious of must be recounted. Confession of every day faults, also called venial sins, are strongly recommended to be confessed. This helps us form our conscience, fight against evil tendencies, let ourselves be healed by Christ, and progress in the life of the Spirit. By receiving the sacrament more frequently we are spurred to be merciful as our Heavenly Father is merciful. CCC 1458Each one of the faithful is bound by an obligation to confess sins in the sacrament at least once a year. Anyone who is aware of having committed a mortal sin must not receive Holy Communion without having first received sacramental absolution unless he has a grave reason and there is no possibility of going to confession. CCC 1457 "Priests who hear the confessions are bound under very severe penalties to keep absolute secrecy regarding the sins that his penitents have confessed. This is called the sacramental seal because it must remain sealed by the sacrament." CCC 1467“The spiritual effects of the sacrament of Penance are reconciliation with God, reconciliation with the Church, remission of the eternal punishment incurred by mortal sins, remission at least in part of temporal punishments resulting from sin, peace and serenity of conscience, spiritual consolation, and an increase of spiritual strength for the Christian battle. “ CCC 1496Confession not only reconciles us to God it reconciles us to the Church. If you or a loved one is away from the faith, the sacrament of reconciliation is an opportunity to come back into the family of God, the Church. You are never too far gone and Jesus' mercy will always be greater and more powerful than your sins. Some people may say, why can't I just confess my sins directly to God?” In the sacrament of reconciliation the priest is Persona Christi and you are confessing your sins directly to Jesus. Many people have found that saying their sins out loud and hearing the absolution from the priest helps relieve the burden of shame and guilt and find true freedom. Go to confession and go often because heaven would not be the same without you. 

Questions Covered:  07:00 – How do priests have the authority to Transubstantiate?  15:02 – Did the apostles receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders at the last supper?  21:17 – Why does Jesus refer to himself as the Son of Man in Mark 10:32 instead of saying I?    28:48 – How should I view Pope Francis's revision to the Catechism on the death penalty with Pope Leo X?  41:00 – Can someone who doesn't know Christ receive Salvation?  47:44 – I heard a Rabi say that the only unintentional sins were forgiven in the Old Testament. How was this fulfilled in the new covenant? 51:55 – I have heard that the Husband is the priest of the house. Who is the priest of the house when their isn’t a husband?  …

Questions Covered: 02:20 – in the sacrament of Holy Orders, clergy progress through ranks—deacon, priest, and bishop—implying they receive the sacrament multiple times, each with additional spiritual authority. Does this mean they receive the full sacrament once, with additional authority “unlocked” at each level, or is each stage more akin to receiving a fuller portion of the sacrament over time? If they receive the same sacrament with varying levels of authority, wouldn’t that mean Holy Orders is actually three different types of sacraments that are slight variations of each other? 08:25 – Mt 7:13-14. Is it wrong for me to read this as a motivational passage instead of a somber one? 13:17 – Will you do an episode of Mysterious World on our Lady of Champion? 15:47 – What are your thoughts on the mystic Luisa Piccarreta? 20:38 – How do we find a happy balance between taking responsibility for actions that lead to bad thing happening to us vs bad things just happening? 29:03 – What are your thoughts on Exodus 4:24? 35:38 – What is the best way to dispose of Catholic literature? 43:27 – Why is it that Catholicism removes consent and stewardship from its moral philosophy? 52:04 – How do I respectfully approach my pastor to bring back passing around the basket for the offertory?

As Christians, our faith has a heavy influence on all of our important decisions in life: spouse, jobs, finances, moves. But what about our fertility decision? How can our faith guide us when it comes to questions about contraception, sterilization, or sexual union within marriage? Fr. Michael Novotny joins us to talk about why he discusses these important topics with every engaged couple he counsels, as well as married couples within his church. NOTE: This episode does use terminology like "sexual intercourse" and may not be appropriate for all audiences.GUEST BIO: Fr. Michael has been the Rector of Christ the King Anglican Church since June 2017 and has attended with his wife, Jennifer, since 2010. He is a graduate of Beeson Divinity School (M.Div 2013) having received Holy Orders in the Anglican Church in North America in 2016. Prior to becoming Rector of CTK he served as the Christian Studies department chair and Dean of Students/Spiritual Life at a local Christian high school. He is married to the love of his life, Jennifer. Together they have five children, Levi, Priscilla, Ruth, Joseph, and Samuel (of blessed memory). Fr.

Introducing 'Catholic Kernel of Truth' from TruthPop! Dive into short, digestible, and catechetical knowledge that will help you learn and grow in your Catholic faith. Learn about 'Sacraments' in this CKoT. Living out your Catholic faith can be difficult, but during Jesus' life He gave us visible signs of His invisible grace called Sacraments. These were instituted by Jesus Himself to help us receive His Grace more fully and tangibly.  CCC 1131 states the sacraments are efficacious signs of grace instituted by Christ and entrusted to the church by which divine life is dispensed to us. There are seven sacraments in the church: Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism states that the purpose of the sacraments is to sanctify, build up the body of Christ, and give worship to God.Sacraments help us to receive continual graces. Imagine being in the desert, desperate for water. If we deprive ourselves of the graces Christ wants to give us in the Eucharist and Reconciliation, we're in a sense choosing to live in the desert away from the life giving water. When we're struggling with a particular sin or vice, continually going back to the Sacraments is what will heal us and help us to get to heaven. Never get tired of receiving what Jesus wants to give you. It's exactly what you need."----------------------------------------------------------------------------"music by audionautix.com"Adventures by A Himitsu https://soundcloud.com/a-himitsuMusic released by Argofox https://youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8

Homily for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (August 25, 2026) Total Time: 9m50sHere is the quote (full) from In Sinu Jesu: So few souls remember to thank Me after receiving My Body and Blood. This is true even of My priests—My priests, My friends, My chosen ones from whom I expect more, from whom I desire more. Hearts have grown cold and indifferent towards Me in this the Sacrament of My love. For many, receiving Me has become a routine action devoid of faith and with no manifestation of adoration and of love. How has My Church come to this? I will raise up holy priests to rekindle a burning love for the Most Holy Eucharist in the hearts of My faithful. I am calling many priests to adore My Eucharistic Face and to approach My open Heart in the Sacrament of My love. These are the priests whom I will use to minister first to their own brothers in Holy Orders and then, through them, to vast multitudes of souls who have never understood the mysteries of My Body and Blood offered to the Father and given up for the life of the world. It is in these few precious moments after Holy Communion that My Heart seeks to hold conversation with My friends, but so many turn away from Me to busy themselves about many things.1 Of you, My friend, I ask something more. Remain with Me for these few moments. Listen for the sound of My voice in your heart. Know that My desire is to speak to you and to listen to all that you have to tell Me. It is in these moments that I am most disposed to grant the requests made of Me in faith.Monk, A Benedictine.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we reach the conclusion and “nugget day” for the section on the sacrament of Holy Orders. Fr. Mike reiterates that all three degrees of the sacrament are a longed for element of the “priestly people.” They are those called to go before God and before his people as a mediator. Fr. Mike also explains that for those who are not called to either “sacrament of service”, Holy Orders or Matrimony, we are all called “to be able to rejoice with those who have received gifts.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1590-1600.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the effects of the sacrament of Holy Orders. Fr. Mike emphasizes that once a man is ordained a priest, he is always a priest because he receives an indelible spiritual mark. He also emphasizes that Holy Orders is a sacrament of service. The effects of the sacrament configure him in such a way that he is best able to serve the Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1581-1589.

We continue our examination of the sacrament of Holy Orders. Specifically, we explore exactly who can receive the sacrament of Holy Orders. Fr. Mike emphasizes that only a baptized man can receive the “sacred ordination”. He then unpacks exactly why the ordination of women is not possible. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1577-1580.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the ordination of deacons and the diaconate. Fr. Mike unpacks each of the essential elements of the rite of the ordination of deacons as well as each of the tasks of the deacon. He emphasizes that only a validly ordained bishop can validly confer the sacrament of Holy Orders. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1569-1576.

The Catechism moves on from bishops—the episcopacy—to priests in the presbyterate, who share in the bishop's ministry “in a subordinate degree”, to be “co-workers”. Fr. Mike dives deep into the service-leadership that priests are called to. “[A priest's] whole life must be configured and must be conformed to Jesus Christ the high priest.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1562-1568.

There are three degrees within the sacrament of Holy Orders: the episcopacy (bishops), the presbyterate (priests), and the diaconate (deacons). The Catechism begins unpacking ordination with the bishops. Fr. Mike speaks on the special role that bishops play in the life of the Church. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 1554-1561.

The Catechism unpacks—by way of comparison—the “two participations in the one priesthood of Christ”: the common priesthood of all the faithful and the ministerial (or hierarchical) priesthood of the bishops and priests. Fr. Mike hones in on the ministerial priesthood as a means for Jesus to minister to his Church. His ministers act on his behalf in persona Christi Capitis: in the person of Christ, the Head. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1546-1553.

Cale looks at the sacrament of Holy Orders in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. 

The Catechism enters Chapter Three on the “Sacraments at the Service of Communion” which include both Holy Orders and Matrimony. As it introduces the sacrament of Holy Orders, Fr. Mike reminds us that every vocation is a gift, and that—no matter what state of life we are in or have been called to—we should read this chapter with an open heart and a grateful spirit.

Today's Topics: 1) Father Chad Ripperger, Spiritual Warfare and Communism: Morality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeXsTgqBKeY 2, 3, 4) In Part 34 of this series, Jesse and Eddie discuss "Incendiary Weapons: Holy Eucharist, Holy Orders and a Theology of Sacrifice," part 2, beginning on page 176, in The Liber Christo Method of Healing and Deliverance, by Dr. Dan Schneider

The Catechism introduces the seven sacraments that Christ offers the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. The Catechism highlights the fact that the sacraments are “by the Church” because the Church is “Christ's action at work”, and they are “for the Church” because they “manifest and communicate to men…the mystery of communion with the God who is love.” Fr. Mike focuses on the fact that while ministerial priests administer many of the sacraments, their priesthood is at the service of the baptismal priesthood, into which all of the baptized are ordained. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 1113-1121. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The term "laity" refers to all the faithful, except those in Holy Orders and those who belong to a religious state approved by the Church. We learn about the special vocation lay people have to seek the Kingdom of God as they engage in temporal affairs. They live in the world and bring the Gospel to places priests and religious cannot access. Father Mike explains that in this way, the lay faithful not only participate in the Church but are the Church. The laity participate in Christ's priestly vocation by making every part of their lives an offering to God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 897-903. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
